3.3.2 Oscillating Lock Mechanism
DANGER
When operating such equipment as the boom or guide shell, make sure that the right
and left crawler track shoes are both touching the ground otherwise it might tip the
machine over.
WARNING
If the right and left truck frames are not oscillating during the machine traveling, stop
moving and ask your nearest distributor to check and restore it.
Because the right and left oscillating cylinders work together as a hydraulic linking circuit, the right
and left crawlers oscillate in reverse directions and against each other, according to the unevenness
of the ground. That increases stability when moving over unleveled ground.
The automatic oscillating lock mechanism changes the hydraulic linking circuit (LOCK - OPEN),
automatically linking to the traveling levers and the oscillating switch.
★ For the operation of the oscillating switch, refer to 3.6.2 “Hydraulic Cylinder Control Panel”.
z LOCK
When the travel levers or the oscillating switch is not operated
then the left and right track frames can't be oscillated.
17305002
z OPEN
When traveling, or operating the oscillating lever, oscillation of
the left and right track frames is available. Because the right
and left oscillating cylinders work together as a hydraulic
connecting circuit, the right and left track frames oscillate in
reverse directions and against each other, according to the
unevenness of the ground. That increases stability when
moving over unleveled ground.

3.13.1 Handling of Fire Extinguisher
DANGER
Do not disassemble the fire extinguisher: the container might burst.
WARNING
The life period of the fire extinguisher is about 8 years.
When the hand of the pressure gauge (1) is not within the green range, there is rust or
scratching on the container, or the hose is degraded: replace the fire extinguisher by
new one.
If the fire extinguishing liquid gets into your eyes or on your skin, wash it well off with
clean running water and consult your doctor.
CX15004
The fire extinguisher in the machine is effective for the following:

General Fire: fiber, paper and wood fires.
Oil Fire: Diesel and other such oil fires.
Electric Fire: Fire in electrical equipment with a risk of shock.
Precautions in Extinguishing Fire

The forcible use might increase the fire. It may not be possible to use the extinguisher to deal with a
large fire or to use the extinguisher fast enough.
The fire extinguishing should be from the windward so that gases are not inhaled.
Tilting the extinguisher reduces its efficiency. Keep it as straight upright as possible.
The fire extinguishing liquid is electric conductive. In order to prevent a short circuit or electric
shock; turn off the power when fighting fire electrical equipment.
In fire fighting, approach the fire gradually keeping back 3 m after the fire is reduced.
When fighting fire always keep open an escape route.

Drilling Precautions
Beware with Blow Up of Cuttings

Check if cuttings are blows up by means of flushing air during drilling.
If the blowhole at the bit tip is stuffed, the flushing air pressure is increased.
If the blowout of the flushing air becomes weak, cuttings cannot be discharged normally to easily
result in hole stuffing and jamming.
★ When the anti-jamming switch is set to [I] or [II], the drifter moves backward automatically when
the flushing air pressure has increased, or the airflow has dropped due to stuffing of bit tip.
Ⅰ
O Ⅱ
ＲＰ Ⅲ
17310039
Clean the Drilling Hole

If the cuttings cannot be discharged normally or the flushing air pressure increases, stop the impact
and move the drifter up and down 2 – 3 times to clean the hole before re-starting drilling.
★ When the anti-jamming switch is set to [II], the drifter is automatically stopped moving forward if
the rotation pressure is excessively increased.
Beware of Spring Water

If dirty water is collected, the filter element in the dust collector may be clogged and dust collection
degraded.
If spring water comes out during drilling, tilt the flushing lever
to the left and stop the dust collector operation.

4.6.4 Using Anti-Jamming Controller
NOTICE
Before activating the anti-jamming controller in drilling, reset the anti-jamming control
and adjust the machine for smooth drilling.
To adjust the anti-jamming controller, ask your nearest distributor.
★ For adjustment of the anti-jamming controller, refer to the “Adjustment Instruction Manual”
(separate volume).
Generally, in drilling, if the rock is hard the rotation pressure should be set to high and if the rock is
soft it should be set to low.
For efficient drilling, if the rock is soft and the rotation pressure is high, the feed pressure and impact
pressure should be set to low: if the rock is hard and the rotation pressure is low, the feed and impact
pressures should be set to high.
When drilling with the anti-jamming controller on, set the mode selector switch to N mode and the
anti-jamming switch to [III].
Set the guide shell at drilling position while performing impact and rotation, and then turn the control
grip to the regular drilling position.
The rotation, feed, impact and damper pressures are detected and each pressure is controlled so as
to optimize drilling in changing rock quality and rock bed.
Automatic drilling is available by activating the anti-jamming controller.
★ For the anti-jamming switch, refer to 3.7.1 “Control Panel”.

hydrogen gas given off the battery, causing the battery to explode.
CAUTION
Always turn the starter switch kept to OFF position before connecting booster
batteries.
When using booster batteries, be sure to wear glasses to protect your eyes from
sparks.
Connect the booster cables correctly. POSITIVE (+) to POSITIVE (+) and NEGATIVE (-)
to NEGATIVE (-).
To prevent sparking around the battery, connect clamp to rear frame as far from the
battery as possible and remove paint.
Do not attempt to jump-start the machine with frozen batteries. The battery could
rupture and explode. If you suspect a frozen battery, remove vent caps and check the
fluid. If there seems to be no fluid or if you see ice, do not attempt a jumper start until
fluid thaws.

12. Coolants
Many engine failures are related to the cooling system.

Maintenance of the engine coolant is important to the engine life and to the performance.
Water
Use soft water with low impurity content as the coolant.
Do no use hard tap water or salt softened tap water in engine cooling systems.
Distilled water or deionized water is recommended for use in engine cooling system
Antifreeze
WARNING
Antifreeze is poisonous; if ingested, it can cause serious injury or death. Induce
vomiting and get emergency medical attention immediately.
If antifreeze accidentally splashed in your eyes, flush eyes with water for 15 minutes.
Get medical attention immediately. If it gets on your skin, wash it with water.
When storing antifreeze, be sure to keep it in a clearly marked container with tight
closing lid. Always keep antifreeze out of the reach of children.
Antifreeze must be used in any climate for both freeze and boiling point protection.
Furukawa recommends a 1:1 mixture of water/ethylene glycol base antifreeze.
The mixture ratio of water/antifreeze when the factory is shipped is 1:1.
★ For more detailed description of coolant, refer to Operation and Maintenance Manual of
Caterpillar C9 Diesel Engine.
